"I had a bad accident in May 2007 and the doctors put me on Roxicodone. My life started to fall apart if I didn't have my meds, couldn't function. I missed a lot of work, outings with my kids, etc. In 2008, I decided to get help, so I got on methadone. Since then, being in treatment, I have gained so much of my life back. I can function now, go do things with my kids, and I am able to have a normal life again, like it used to be before my accident. If you ever have a situation like this, you need to try this."

"From 1989-1984 was a very heavy heroin addict. I got into a methadone program. This is important: I was started on 80 mg, went up to 150 mg for a few months, then ended up in a mental health hospital, was hallucinating, not sleeping for two weeks. The private clinic I was going to had a dispensing nurse stealing my dose. The police came to take me home, I was so paranoid I was checked for coke, meth, and methadone. NOTHING in my system. Not even methadone. My current doctor saved my life. Came to mental health, started me on 80 mg. Was out after a week. 20 years, it has saved my life. I'm 60 in May 2016, have a 20-year-old daughter, she had NO withdrawal at birth. Normal for over 20 years."

"I've been on methadone maintenance now for nearly three years. It truly saved my life. I am now back to being a productive member of society and believe it to be a gift. I have absolutely no desire to use opiates any longer."

"Methadone saved my life as I have addiction and pain. When first started on methadone, I was at rock bottom of addiction. I also just survived being run over by an SUV vehicle. I broke both hips and shattered my pelvis. I was in the hospital for 6 months. With a year of opiates before the accident, no pain medication would subside the pain. Now I have 9 years clean and sober, and I get a month of methadone at a time. I was supposed to never walk again or have kids, now I chase after my 2 kids every day. I thank God every day."
